[Listen] Counterfeit Jeans – Counterfeit Jeans (EP)

They played us a couple of demos a few months back and now they are presenting the ‘real’ thing. Fortunately for all of us, the band has maintained its raw edge even though they’ve tidied the tracks up a bit. Frankly, “Heavy Weather” didn’t need any fixing, but here it is in a slightly more polished form. Still one of my fave tracks this year. Elsewhere, the boys bring some punk ferocity to post-rock material. It’s all good. The ‘woop’ towards the end of “Violence” gives a little thrill, and the f%cked up guitar at the end of “Nothing” is the EP high point.

About The Author

Mark is keenly interested in alternative music of all stripes. Noise pop, art rock, drone metal, shoegaze, Albanian folk music – the genre is not as important as how original it is. Fact is, Mark needs to hear innovation or else he loses interest pretty quickly.
